Wow, this is big news indeed. When was his trip originally scheduled for?

I think this could have to do with the “Ides of March” movement. I’m not sure if it is a real organized movement or not. But I have heard it referenced more than once in the blogosphere as the day that Ceasar was killed by his Senators. I think perhaps Obama is taking a precaution and protecting his family as well.

I’d advise them all to stay indoors on March 15 just in case. There are a lot of screwballs out there!

Yes affordable health care is the key. You heard about Rush saying he would go to Costa Rica to get health care if Obamacare passes? Well, they have “cadillac care” there. It costs a fraction of the cost of care here. Why? Well, for one I think there are a lot less profiteering going on down there. Just a guess….

well, I can’t stay long. I am going to take my son to Spokane so he can catch a ride to Seattle.

Then I will come home to this drizzle and curl in bed to continue reading “Going Rogue”. I just got it from the library yesterday. I reserved in in mid Dec and just now got informed that it was available. I’m sure it wasn’t due to theft. Conservatives aren’t known to be into theivery are they? haha
I am enjoying the book, although I am only about 1/8 through it. I am glad that I identify with Gov. Palin. Her upbringing is admirable and her values are evident in her early life of school, extracurriculars, work and recreation. She had a childhood not all that dissimilar to me although you really can’t compare growing up in Alaska with growing up in the NY suburbs.

I do find that she skirts some of her life that I would be interested in reading about. She mentions the criticism of her going to so many different schools and then she doesn’t tell us the schools she attended. She mentions her first semester in Hawaii and then Idaho, but doesn’t say how many schools she attended.

I also found a few other things in her book that were very LAME. I would have a great time challenging her on the statements. But who am I to tell her how to write her own memoir? damn I can be so patronizing sometimes…heehee

This AM I will be checking in and out – I really have to fill out some applications.

There are NO – hear me – NO jobs in my area.

I am filling out an application for a local supermarket that loses kids in spring and I am filling out applications for jobs from school districts that are cutting back. My taxes are going up because no one is buying things at our stores. How long can this last. You can’t raise taxes forever – or can you???????

Rush: Well, that has been turned into I’m going to leave the country for Costa Rica and move there if Obamacare passes. I’ve had all kinds of reporters: “Are you serious? Do you really mean this?” So I’ve had to patiently explain today to people who do not bother to stay informed on this stuff what the genesis and the primary context of my comment was. I said, “Look, there are insurance companies who don’t want to be put out of business.” We’ve talked to them on the program. I’ve talked to them privately. They are establishing health care clinics with quality doctors in places like Costa Rica. They’re going to continue to sell policies to people who have the ability to fly down there and get treatment. If I have to get thrown into this massive government health care insurance business and end up going to the driver’s license office every day when I need to go to the doctor, yeah, I’ll go to Costa Rica for treatment, not move there. So they’re just in a tizzy out there, between Costa Rica and Eric Massa. So — (laughing) — it’s going to be a fun day. Heck, it already is a fun day
